#2Oh yeah, that swipe gesture looks so natural...
Now in addition to people talking out loud alone on the streets, people checking their notifications on their watch and phones at dinner, we'll have people looking at your teeth doing weird eye and head motions when you talk to them...

#3This is actually something I would like to wear. It's like normal glasses, I am not recording videos of the people around me, and it could show me relevant information when needed without looking at my phone. I can think of a few use cases this could cover, in a very elegant way.
The nice thing is, that they are completely "invisible" for other people around me.

#4give me a small ring on my finger to control it and I'll buy a pair.

I can't help but think wearable computers aren't going to become viable until we further refine brain computer interfaces.

It better be water resistant, what with all the wiseguys kissing it.

I cant help but to think of the dystopia that will come from further refinement of brain computer interfaces

#8In a few years, we will all be wearing those VR-goggles that Wade Watts is using in Ready Player One. Can't wait!

#9Yeah, right - "no one will use it for every tweet notification, it will only provide contextual information" - it will be used for whatever people want to use it and we know what people want to use it for (porn).

I do think they are cool and could be useful, but not to the point of making someone that doesn't wear glasses want to wear them.
My main problem is what does it give me over wearing a smart watch? The only thing I can think of is being slightly more discreet and the "gesture" not being rude to activate when you are in company. That is something I found out quickly when I started wearing an Apple Watch - even if you are just checking a text message it appears you are checking the time and want to leave. Since then I have greatly cut down on notifications going to my watch, and have even fewer that even ping on my phone.
To me, having a camera on it is what would make it compelling, but at the same time make it creepy. Say being able show driving directions overlaid on the actual road, versus some floating text. Or you sit down at a desk with just a keyboard and mouse and your "displays" are only shown in your field of view - and you can customize, move and resize them as you wish.
